Choosing Computer Components

Choosing computer hardware for repair and upgrades requires quite a bit of research and advice. iFixit sells parts for most Apple computers, and has an active community of repair experts on iFixit Answers who will be able to answer your questions.

SEARCH BEFORE YOU ASK

It's best to search before you ask on Answers. The same questions are often asked (and answered) repeatedly, so please spend a few minutes browsing for your device or specific problem before you post a question. Chances are good that somebody has asked something similar, and already received an answer. If not, post your question, but make sure to give as as much specific information as possible. The more pertinent information you provide with your question, the more likely the answers are to be fast, complete, and accurate.

Repairability

Stay in the loop

It's time to speak out for your right to repair

We have a chance to guarantee our right to repair electronic
equipment—like smartphones, computers, and even farm equipment. This is a once-in-a-generation
chance to protect local repair jobs—the corner mom-and-pop repair shops that
keep getting squeezed out by manufacturers.

Join the cause and tell your state representative to support Right to Repair. Tell them you believe repair should be fair, affordable, and accessible. Stand up for your right to repair!
